FRIDAY:

Coronation Street brought in 3.95m, somewhat well ahead of Emmerdale and its 3.42m audience. Gogglebox managed a healthy 3.02m for C4,  a figure that should rise substantially when catch-up data is added. Have I Got News For You brought in 2.99m for BBC1 at 9PM.

Outside of that, BT Sports took second with the UEFA Champions League, that had 3.51m watching from 6PM. The 1% Club continued with 2.88m, and The Weakest Link challenged 2.36m of us. Celebrity Catchpoint could only reach 1.84m, and was almost beaten by the ITV Evening News (1.79m), but was still better than Pointless Celebrities which had 1.64m.

First place for the week went to Sunday, as 4.64m of us tuned in to watch Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen, sitting comfortably ahead of second place - Countryfile (3.52m).
